Mariska Hargitay Reveals Biological Father in New Documentary
In her documentary “My Mom Jayne,” Mariska Hargitay discloses that singer Nelson Sardelli, not Mickey Hargitay, is her biological father. Raised by Mickey after her mother, actress Jayne Mansfield, passed away, Mariska felt a unique connection to Sardelli, which she only fully understood in her 20s when she instinctively recognized him. The film, described as a love letter to Mickey, features family cameos and aims to unburden secrets, emphasizing her loyalty to her father and the importance of her upbringing.
